Happy belated Easter

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Hubby and I went for a little mini vacation this weekend. Left on Friday morning and drove up to one of our favorite places. Fairmont Hotsprings Resort and spent a couple of days there relaxing and spending some time reconnecting. We find with the business and our busy lives we have to take a little time for just "us" No Mom, No Lulu, No Company phones and just be together. Which was what we did....we relaxed....we ate....we soaked. The only time we were dressed was when we left our room. It was VERY nice! Then On Sunday morning we headed home all refreshed and rejuvenated. Mom was at my brother's house for Easter Dinner, so we stopped by there on our way home and brought her home. She was a doll and had made a ham with all the fixings before she went over there, so that hubby and I had an Easter meal for when we got home. Even though we told her not to she did anyway....and in the end it was greatly appreciated. It was delicious!

I didn't post last week, because I didn't do any stitching last Sunday. We were out and about all day last Sunday and by the evening we just sat and watched tv and spent time together, so I didn't pick up my stitching at all.

I did manage to stitch a little bit on Sunday night. I just took a picture of the new part as I am quite frankly too lazy to take them out of the q snaps at the moment to take a picture. But you can see my Sunday progress nonetheless.

Also a shot of an old WIP that I haven't touched in months and months, is Mirabilia's Elizabeth. She is still a long ways from looking like anything, but hopefully soon she'll be somewhat recognizable.

I think that I'm going to have to find a little ornament or something to stitch on this week. I'm feeling that I'm needing a little instant gratification. I have a few pieces on my desk that I have to kit up and get to it.

Good for you and your mini getaway. We do need to recharge our batteries every now and again. I am loving your progress on RM's Cornwall Cottage. It is in my stash and I might just have to buy the threads at my retreat later this month. Better get hopping on my other WIPs to make room for it!
